I will be trying to show a set of options using the layerGroup functionality to filter out the markers. I need to show a popup when an option is selected from a layer which will prompt the user to enter a number based on which i will be showing the markers. Is there a possible way?
In the above sketch, there' s a sample filter at the top right which i intend to show using the layers but the thing is on selecting the 'Location' option i have to show a popup that will prompt the user to enter a location number and on that basis the markers should be placed on the map.
I guess there would be multiple ways of achieving this, depending on what behaviour exactly you want to get.
E.g. you could use a "dummy" layer (with name "Location" probably?), that you can add in the Layers Control (I guess that is the "sample filter at the top"?). Then listen for this dummy layer for being added to the map, and launch your modal ("popup") at this time. Then when the user enters the necessary information, you can programmatically add the corresponding markers to the map.
If you need further help, please add more details on what behaviour you try to get, or start your implementation and post new questions, so that you already have a start of what you are trying to achieve and people can elaborate on it.

I'm trying to make a line graph change color on mouse click by using the select.lineStyle.color attribute.
I'm able to trigger a colour change for the points upon mouse click using select.itemStyle.color and I'm expecting the select.lineStyle.color attribute to change the color of the graph but , it doesn't seem to work despite the documentation saying that select should work for all series.
I even programmatically fired the "select" event (not in the sandbox) but no changes were observed in my line graph.
My code sandbox
Extract from the docs
In addition, we've added click to select to all series, an interaction that was previously only available in a few series such as pie charts and maps, allowing developers to set it to single or multiple selection mode, and to listen to the selectchanged event to get all the selected shapes for further processing. As with emphasis and blur, the selection style can also be configured in select.
Please help me. I've been working on this for a week and found no solutions here. Is there something I'm missing?
Got my answer directly via posting an issue on their Github page.
Apparently, select is only applicable for data object, not series objects(or whatever you call it). So this feature is not available.
What I did, like most people, is to listen to the mouseclick event and update the series-line.lineStyle.opacity property in options directly to blur out other lines. Set triggerLineEvent:true so that clicking any part of the line will fire the mouseclick event, instead of just the data points.
I have a data entry form. Its properly tab indexed etc. and there are three dropdown menus which automatically unfurl with the on enter event.
No matter how much advice i give to users about using the tab key and keboard and checking what they just input.
they still insist on using the mouse to select values from the dropdown menus
the problem is that in their haste they often make mistakes as a result of using the mouse.
I would like to be able to force users to input into these fields using the keyboard.
the drop down is neccessary for users see the appropriate values for the field because the values will vary based on previous selections.
I have already tried experimenting with onclick events but to no avail.
Is there a way I can do this?
i am using access 2007 many of the users have access 2003.
Based on your comments, I would take one of two different approaches.
If your users are really comfortable with the codes AND know which ones they should use based on their previous selections, then just use text boxes instead of combo boxes. You can still put some validation code in either the Form_BeforeUpdate event or the individual control's _BeforeUpdate event.
If the users are not that comfortable, then I would suggest you have the first field in the combo boxes be the description of the code, not the code itself. So instead of choosing from 101, 102, 103 they are instead choosing from "Small", "Medium", "Large" or whatever those codes actually apply to. If you still wanted to display the codes themselves, you could do that with a separate disabled text box.
Now to answer your actual question. For the record, I highly recommend against using this approach. The simplest way I can thing of to prevent your users from using the mouse to select the combo box, would be to add a Transparent button covering the combo box.
To do this, draw a regular command button over the combo. Set Transparent = Yes, Visible = Yes, Enabled = Yes, Tab Stop = No.
When users click on the combo now, they will actually be clicking on the Transparent button and nothing will happen. The ONLY way they will be able to get into the control is by tabbing from a neighboring control or using a hotkey (via '&' in attached label).
Once they enter the control via Tab and your code forces a dropdown, they will still be able to choose an option using the mouse. But by forcing them to use the keyboard initially, it will make it much more likely that they just stick with the keyboard.
Again--I can't stress this enough--I think this is a terrible, horrible, no-good idea. Please don't use this approach. But you asked a technical question and this site is all about giving technical answers, so there you go...
Is there a way to (programmatically) make a certain IMarker be shown in the problem view, similar to what happens when the user selects "View in..." from the context menu? I have a wizard which may cause markers to appear, and I would like to make these markers visible in the problem view when the wizard is complete.
You will just have to make your markers to be problems. However there are separate Markers view that shows all the markers.
To show marker you can use MarkerViewUtil.showMarker(..)
Ignoring all good API rules, you could look into the internals of FiltersConfigurationDialog to create a new resource filter in the problems view programmatically. But I repeat: there is no API for creating problems filters and this might then break at any time.
I want to allow the user to specify the location of something by dragging a marker onto the map. And I also want to let them enter some information about that spot.
The problem is that this makes a very complex form. Can this be done in one step? Or do I have to make them choose location first, and then in a second form take the form-field input?
How would you guys go about doing this? Are there any good tutorials for this sort of thing out there?
Thanks,
Alex
What do you mean in one step?I implemented this by adding a floating form in the side of a map and adding two hidden(or not?) fields that populated with the coords of the draggable marker.I really don't see any other way except maybe if you embed the form in the info window of the draggable marker

For business use Microsoft charge extra for use of the Bing Maps birds eye angled view, so my client has ask that I disable this option. In verion 6.3 of the control this was easy, there is a map option that can be used to do this: enter link description here
However, I can't find how to do this using the API with version 7 of the control. The current menu has Birds eye as an option with check boxes show labels and show angled view. Ideally I'd like to disable the option from the menu so that users are only able to view road and aerial views. So it looks like I have two options available:-
1) Hide the show angled view check box somehow with css. The issue here is that I can't get to the HTML content using the IE developer toolbar of firebug as it only displays when selected.
2) Attach to the map maptypechanged event and if birds eye map selected set it back to the map type it used to be.
Both of the above are far from ideal. Does anyone have a suggestion for the best way of doing this?
Sample code:
map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById('myMap'),
{
credentials: 'Your Bing Maps Key',
disableBirdseye:true
});
here are some working examples from the iSDK:
http://www.bingmapsportal.com/isdk/ajaxv7#CreateMapWithMapOptions14
API Reference:
And here is the MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg427603.aspx
disableBirdseye
boolean
A boolean indicating whether to disable the bird’s eye map type. The default value is false. If this property is set to true, bird’s eye will be removed from the map navigation control and the birdseyeMapTypeId is disabled. Additionally, the auto map type will only display road or aerial.
This property can only be set when using the Map constructor.
You're correct in stating that there is no way currently using the v7 API to disable individual map styles. A possible Option #3 which is less hackish, but requires a bit more work, is to set the showMapTypeSelector property of the MapOptions to false, which would have the effect of hiding the entire map style selection dropdown. Then create your own custom navigation menu that only includes links to those styles you want to allow the user to choose.
